| Abstract: |
| An autonomous shopping cart that would follow the customer help him shop without dragging it everywhere, displaying an estimate of the total cost as well as helping to scan the products |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| In the current day and age, shopping malls are full of people that are looking to buy groceries and Vegetables. A cart must be dragged around with him/her in the shop.SASC will do just that. Thereby reducing human effort and give an estimate to the position and price of various items |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| The Shopping mall and cash and carry stores will benefit the most, this also includes the Customers there to buy goods. |
| How will the solution works |
| We will be using raspberry pie as the brains to calculate the distance and direction using the RSSI and IMU readings received from the User, there will be a small beacon that the customer will carry in his pocket or purse. The cart will follow only the person in possession of the beacon. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| These kinds of smart carts have been made before for example Amazon and Sobeys … They are using image processing to get the job done.We are using Bluetooth RSSI and the IMU readings from the mpu9250 to estimate the distance and direction of the customer. |
